The "Perfect" Body

A member of my Self Love Sisters group shared this with me a few days ago. It made me cry and really made me think about how I view my own body, body shaming in general, and bullying on social media. Where is the respect?  Please watch and share any comments you have below.

31 and Single

Being single sure has it's up and downs! I love my "me" time and my own schedule but sometimes having someone to come home to and share my life and crazy stories with sure would be nice! ;-) A friend sent met this photo a few weeks ago with the message, "Your Dating Life."  I thought it was pretty fitting! There are many options but I tend to want to stand alone until I find someone who can keep up with me! My match needs to be my equal and value the things I do. I'm at a point in my life where I have enough love and self respect to wait long enough for the right person.  I view relationships as two wholes becoming an even greater whole—two individuals who love each other enough to respect the other’s independence and uniqueness. Don't just settle. There are so many mediocre part of life and love should not be one of them!

Words of Wisdom-Weekend Edition


 

Society can break us. So much negativity and bashing. It pains me to hear about a client's daughter being bullied at school, endless complaints on Facebook about anything and everything, bad attitudes, jealousy, and put-downs. If you want to feel bad about yourself log into any social media website. We tend to compare our lives, jobs, bodies, incomes, houses, cars, and gadgets to our neighbors. The world can be a tough, nasty place! What role do you play in all of this? Are you adding to it or leading people in another direction? Make it your mission to be the light for others. Set the example. Teach your kids to respect and love themselves and others. To do the right thing. Live life in a Godly way. Be honest. Genuine. Be happy for others. Give compliments freely. Be kind. Spread joy. Take a stand. Rise up and be bold-the world needs you!

"When I Started Loving Myself"


This was written by Charlie Chaplin on his 70th birthday on April 16, 1959.

"When I started loving myself, I’ve understood that I’m always, and at any given opportunity, in the right place at the right time. And I’ve understood that all that happens is right. From then on, I could be calm. Today I know it is called trust.

When I started to love myself, I understood how much it can offend somebody when I try to force my desires on this person, even though I knew the time was not right and the person was not ready for it, and even though this person was me. Today I know it is called respect.

When I started loving myself, I could recognize that emotional pain and grief are just warnings for me to not live against my own truth. Today I know it is called authentically being.

When I started loving myself, I have stopped longing for another life and could see that everything around me was a request to grow. Today I know it is called maturity.

When I started loving myself, I’ve stopped depriving myself of my free time and I’ve stopped sketching further magnificent projects for the future. Today I only do what’s fun and joy for me, what I love and what makes my heart laugh, in my own way and in my tempo. Today I know it is called honesty.

When I started loving myself, I’ve escaped from all that wasn’t healthy for me; from dishes, people, things, situations, and from everything pulling me down and away from myself. In the beginning I called it the “healthy egoism”, but today I know it is called self love.

When I started loving myself, I’ve stopped wanting to be always right; thus I’ve been less wrong. Today I’ve recognized it is called humbleness.

When I started loving myself, I’ve refused to live further in the past and to worry about my future. Now I live only at this moment where everything takes place. Like this, I live every day and I call it consciousness.

When I started loving myself, I recognized that my thinking can make me miserable and sick. When I though requested for my heart forces, my mind got an important partner. I call this connection today heart wisdom.

We do not need to fear further discussions, conflicts and problems with ourselves and others since even stars sometimes bang on each other and create new worlds.

Today I know this is this life!"
